Can we reconcile stability with non-manipulability in pairing problems by selecting lotteries over matchings?We examine the problem of eliciting preferences to make pairs as introduced by Gale and Shapley (1962). We develop ex-ante notions of stability and non-manipulability that are parameterized by collections of utility functions. In particular, we study the collection of utility functions with

Organochlorine compounds in fish lipids were characterized by studying the partitioning of chlorinated species into acidic and neutral fractions before and after hydrolysis of the lipids, and after transesterification to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Chlorinated fatty acids (Cl-FAs) were found to be the major organochlorine components in the fish lipids. Approximately 90% of the extractable or

Connective tissues have many features in common, including resisting and dissipating mechanical load and providing shape, as well as acting to provide barriers regulating water flow and diffusibility of macromolecules. In this chapter we have chosen to focus on cartilage and bone, covering many aspects of connective tissues. We give special focus to the noncollagenous proteins in their matrices.

To claim to believe in God without accepting that God exists independently of human minds would mean reducing God to merely a human construct, thus not real enough for being the object of religious worship. This book sets out to challenge this common view on existence and religious belief. Arguing from concrete examples of language use in children's make-believe play and other ordinary situation

Micro-organisms are used industrially by humans, to improve production, either qualitatively or quantitatively, and to enhance profit or value. In cheese production, the starter bacteria hydrolyse casein degradation products generated by rennet. Some bitter peptides accumulate during cheese ripening, and their degradation would improve the flavour of the cheese. Plasmid pHP003 from the starter st

The goal of inquiry in this essay is to ascertain to what extent the Principle of Compositionality – the thesis that the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meaning of its parts and its mode of composition – can be justifiably imposed as a constraint on semantic theories, and thereby provide information about what meanings are. Apart from the introduction (Chapter One) and the con

Artikeln analyserar hur historiedidaktiska frågeställningar och begrepp fått ett allt starkare genomslag i den moderna historievetenskapen.

Impact hammer and non-contact speaker excitation were applied to an asphalt concrete, a PVC-U and a concrete specimen to measure the fundamental longitudinal resonance frequency at different strain levels. The impact and the noncontact excitation methods resulted in similar resonance frequencies for the undamaged asphalt concrete and for the PVC-U specimen. However, the two excitation approaches g

This research examines the impact of different control strategies on the management of returnable transport items (RTIs) in closed-loop supply chains. A simulation model is developed based on an empirical case and is used to explore different scenarios. The results suggest that the choice of control strategy has a significant impact on investments and operating costs, and that RTI shrinkage can be

40-talisterna är en generation som har förknippats med flera karaktärsdrag, positiva som negativa, och framställs ofta som en mycket talrik generation. Det går att argumentera för att generationen inte endast utgör en kohort utan även en identitet. Då generationen utmålas som rik, mäktig och frisk finns det ett intresse att se hur denna generation kommer att beskrivas då dess medlemmar börjar ingå
